Oversize it

It's not winter yet, but it certainly feels like it. The past week here in Melbourne has been cold and miserable (weather i actually love) and its made me think about winter fashion. There will be other posts about this topic but i wanted to spring this one upon you now so you can start budgeting and saving for...an oversized coat. Although I will offer inexpensive options, i believe its sometimes best to splurge on classic, well made items that you can own forever. Think that leather jacket, or those shoes, or clutch you splurged on but utilise every year, now you can have that everlasting coat. If you do splurge, its best to do this with a timeless cut and colour. Blacks and greys are always on trend and recently camel has made an appearance but i think this colour will stay on trend for a while.

Blushing

Ok, so when i think of the colour blush pink i immediately think of outdated bridesmaids dresses, but the shade has had a new revival - luckily for us! Celebs, models and fashionistas have been spotted showcasing this lush colour. I personally adore it in oversized coats or basically anything that entails a simple cut and a streamlined aesthetic, like a tailored pant. This colour suits dark or fair complexions and can be worn a variety of ways. If you're brave try to wear it head to toe in varying shades, otherwise you can team it with white or simply with one statement piece.

Comfort Shoes

Currently trending in Melbourne are Birkenstocks, Espadrilles and runners. Now the Birks aren't for everyone, admittedly it took me a while to accept this fashion trend, but teamed correctly with the right clothing pieces (i love flippy skirts to add a feminine touch) you can look fab. It was Ms Kerr who donned a pair of Birkenstocks for the UK Vogue September issue which had seemingly catapulted the style. In addition, I adore Espadrilles and the countless colours and prints they come in however, unlike the Birks and runners, if you're on your feet for longer than five hours your ankles tend to get sore due to the lack of support. And finally the runners, particularly the Nike's, look so sleek with fitted jeans or sports tights. Style has never been so comfortable.
